Chapter XXXIII National Debt

Since Song Ling'er was promoted from the concubine to the queen, there was no large-scale wedding, which was a big pity for Liu Hong, but fortunately, the ethnic minorities in the north gave him a big gift.

After Liu Hongli in July of the second year of Xiping, the Southern Xiongnu rebelled in the same month, and Xianbei Kou Youzhou.

Liu Hong was in the Deyang Palace, and read out the recital of Zhang Huan, the governor of the Han Dynasty, in public.

Then he sneered, "It seems that the Xianbei people know that I am newly married Yan'er, and they can't wait to give me a wedding gift!" ”

"Your Majesty, please send troops to fight and completely eradicate the hidden dangers in northern Xinjiang." Dong Chong, the secretary of the military department, immediately went out of the queue.

Qiao Xuan, the head of the household, hurriedly came out and said, "Your Majesty, the imperial court only needs to send a large army to resist, there are many disasters this year, and at the beginning of the year, the sword soldiers were dismissed, and the treasury really has no grain and grass to support a big war!" ”

Liu Hong frowned when he heard this, and asked suspiciously, "Hubu Shangshu, last year is not a tax, and the treasury also has countless money and grain, why is there no money and grain for the army to conquer at this time?" ”

Qiao Xuan replied helplessly, "Your Majesty, there is still money and grain in the treasury, but this is the food for disaster relief, and it should not be touched lightly!" ”

Liu Hong nodded, that's right, if there is no disaster relief grain in the treasury, that is the way to destroy the country, and the fall of the Sui Dynasty can be said to be due to the conquest of Goryeo and the fact that no money and food were left to prevent disasters.

The second is the Yellow Turban Rebellion in history, if the food for disaster relief from the imperial court is delivered on time, Zhang Jiao will not be able to set off such a big momentum no matter how capable he is.

But at this time, the Xianbei army came to attack, but they had to send troops to fight.

Tanshi Huai eventually died, but the Xianbei tribe did not split as in history, but formed a new military alliance headed by Murong.

In order to better control Xianbei, Murong took advantage of the residual power of Tanshi Huai and threatened to avenge Tanshi Huai.

This is the Xianbei big move to the south, the Han Dynasty has been implementing the strategy in the north to unite the Xiongnu, Wuhuan and the two tribes against Xianbei, but at this time the Xiongnu are also reversed.

Fortunately, the history of the state assassin reacted in time, trapped the Xiongnu army in the Hexi corridor, Liu Hong ordered the Jizhou county soldiers to rush to, both sides did not have the combat strength to fight, so they could only hold on to each other and wait for a turnaround, and the Xiongnu troubles subsided instantly.

But today's Xianbei is much more powerful than in history, and it can't help but occupy the vast grassland of 12,000 miles, and also occupy the homeland of Fuyu for thousands of miles.

At this time, Xianbei had an army of 120,000 and 200,000 slave soldiers came, so it can be said that if Liu Hong seized the opportunity this time, he would definitely be able to solve the trouble in northern Xinjiang in one fell swoop.

But at this time, Qiao Xuan said that the treasury was out of food, which made Liu Hong very distressed.

Liu Hong held a glimmer of hope and said, "Do you Aiqing have a way to break the enemy?" ”

Yang Ci, who came back from the disaster area, said, "Your Majesty, this is a good opportunity for the ages, and the opportunity cannot be lost, and it will not come again." At this time, only my Han is united, and he will definitely be able to get through the difficulties, and he is willing to donate 30,000 stones of grain and grass to the national treasury. ”

Liu Hong knew that this was Yang Ci making up for it, and he was making up for it with the future of the Yang family, and at this time, Yang Ci took the lead in speaking, which can be said to have forced the Manchu Dynasty civil and military to a desperate situation.

From ancient times to the present, anyone who becomes a minority will not end well, even the emperor.

The most famous courtier was Huang Wrong, and the princes of the whole world at that time waved the banner of 'Qing Jun's side, Huang Huang was wrong', so that the emperor had to kill him.

But Liu Hong doesn't care about these, Liu Hong just wants to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

So Liu Hong looked at Yang Ci and said slowly, "Aiqing can be like this, it is really a blessing for the Han!" ”

"The minister is also willing to donate money and food for the country......"

"Donation ......"

With the beginning of Yang Ci, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military donated money and food more or less, although they wanted to kill Yang Ci in their hearts, but on the surface they still looked loyal and patriotic.

Liu Hong laughed and said, "Okay, good, you Aiqing deserve to be the pillars of the country, but how can I let you Aiqing lose your family wealth for nothing?" ”

Hearing this, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty all looked moved, wondering what Liu Hong could do to recover his losses.

"Tobe Shangshu."

"The minister is here."

Liu Hong looked at Qiao Xuanlang and said, "From now on, the Royal Bank of Dahan will issue treasury bonds, and those who have national debts, the state will borrow money and grain, and the term will be fixed." Write down the amount of money and food for your Aiqing, and return it to the bill, and compensate it after this incident. ”

"No, Your Majesty Shengming."

Qiao Xuan immediately said loudly, in the donation of money and food, there is also his share of Qiao Xuan, and at this time, he has the opportunity to return the money, so he naturally does not hesitate to praise him.

Subsequently, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty shouted their thanks.

Yang Ci was also among the thanks, but he smiled bitterly in his heart, "I was a villain in vain, and I made Your Majesty get great benefits." ”

Liu Hong didn't know Yang Ci's thoughts, he only knew that the crisis of money and grain had passed, but he still had to discuss it in detail, after all, if he wanted to completely take Xianbei this time, he would have to dispatch at least 500,000 troops.

So after a while, after Qiao Xuan sorted out the numbers, Liu Hong said, "Hubu Shangshu, how much grain is there?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, all the ministers have bought a total of 800,000 stone of national debt."

Liu Hong's eyes shrank suddenly, good guy, 800,000 stones.

Then he smiled and said, "Your Aiqing's work at this time should be written on the history." ”

The Manchu Dynasty said "Don't dare." ”

Liu Hongwei groaned, "Then the treasury bonds will also be issued to the people, and those who purchase more than 200,000 stone of treasury bonds will be awarded knighthoods, so that they can collect millions of stones of money and grain, and all that the treasury has can be used to supply the needs of the army." ”

"But how many troops will be needed this time? Specific matters should be discussed in detail. ”

When Dong Chong heard this, he said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is necessary to dispatch an army of 600,000. ”

"Why?"

"Your Majesty, Xianbei is mostly cavalry, and my Han is mostly a foot soldier, so in order to win a blow, you should be well prepared."

Li Ying, the second assistant of the cabinet, said: "The secretary of the military department has said that most of the enemies who came this time are slave soldiers, so only 500,000 troops need to be dispatched." ”

"The minister thinks so." Cabinet Yang Ci seconded.

Liu Hong saw that Dong Pet was also a little relieved, so he said, "Since this is the case, I will send 500,000 troops, the Tiger Army, the Beidi Army, the Shooting Army, and the Iron Cavalry Army, a total of 140,000 troops, and the soldiers of Qingzhou, Yanzhou, and Yuzhou will accompany the expedition, and recruit 300,000 elite veterans from various states and counties, together with a total of 500,000 soldiers from Youzhou." ”

Speaking of this, Liu Hong stood up and shouted: "I want to devote the strength of the country to completely eliminate the Xianbei disaster in Northern Xinjiang." ”

"No, Your Majesty Shengming."

The Manchu Dynasty civil and military all shouted.

Liu Hong said that the power of the country is really an exaggeration, at this time, the Han is just a veteran soldier who can be recruited at any time, there is nearly a million as much, and there is no shortage of money, Liu Hong has not increased taxes since he took the throne, so that the people who have not suffered from the disaster have surplus grain in their homes, but the treasury has very little grain and grass.

Even so, the pressure on Liu Hong at this time was much lighter than when Emperor Wu sent troops to the Xiongnu.
